We are diligent in selecting vendors that process personal data on our behalf so that they also ensure appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data. We also integrate privacy in the design of our projects that involve the use of personal data in order to secure the information and implement the aforementioned principles.

We will provide support to organisations in their duty to notify Users and regulatory authorities, as required by law, when personal data has been stolen, disclosed, altered or infringed by an unauthorised person.
